Wow, he said that? Maybe next time he should post that on the wallet download page so people don't lose a grand like I may have.
I think JGCMiner meant to say "So long as there is no forking (which there isn't) you are right that coins CAN'T be lost" to be in agreeance. JGC, am I correct?
Yes, I meant to say "no preference" can cause problems, but not coins cannot be lost. Camo has already gotten his back so that is proof.
Also, it would be nice to see the solution and correct usage behavior post here so that in the future we can warn future users about how to avoid this issue.
